Support Elsie Gilyard’s NICU journey

Welcome to the world Elsie Marie Gilyard! Elsie was born on December 21st to Lars and Bella in Minneapolis, MN. Lars and Bella are incredible parents and are working day and night to support Elsie who is still in the NICU after being born. Elsie was born with a possible genetic disorder that has required surgeries to improve breathing, eating, and digestion. She will also likely need orthopedic surgeries in the future for her feet and hands due to syndactyly, along with surgeries to correct craniosynostosis.

Zach and Brita Erickson have set up a gofundme to support the Gilyards while they remain in the NICU. Funds will be used for hotel, food, and medical bills during this hospitalization. Please keep Lars, Bella, and Elsie in your thoughts and prayers during this NICU journey. A more detailed journal of their story can be found on carebridge by searching Elsie Gilyard.
